I've actually been diagnosed several times, each time with a different type of schizophrenia. Sometimes it has been paranoid schizophrenia, sometimes undifferentiated, sometimes bipolar type schizo-effective, and at other times depressive type schizo-effective. I've viewed the records from all of my docs and the one that is most believable, to me anyway, is the undifferentiated diagnosis and that was because the pdoc said I exhibited symptoms from 3 types of schizophrenia, mostly paranoid but also catatonic and one other that I can't think of the name of, and I was there fore diagnosed with the undifferentiated one. He also listed the symptoms from each type that I exhibited. Not only that, but the extra brain activity typical with schizophrenics showed up on my EEG and MRI results while the pdoc was assuring himself that I wasn't exhibiting symptoms of some form of epilepsy. So, in short, I am schizophrenic, but the doctors can't seem to agree on which type I am...
ANYWAY, I'm not looking to assure my own diagnosis. I'm looking for information on this assignment. I have changed the topic slightly, though. I haven't really been able to find much info on the MRI and EEG results in schizophrenics. I found a little, but not enough for the project. I changed my topic to Schizophrenia: The benefits of therapy AND medication as opposed to simply medication alone. Has anybody got any input or information on this or know of sites that are good at showing the contrasts between these?
